Bernard Hopkins nails it on magnitude of Manny Pacquiao

October 12, 5:47 AM Michael Marley

A marginal former world champion named Kendall Holt says the public has been “fooled” by Manny Pacquiao.


This is, of course, an ant attacking an elephant with **** on its mind. It’s a pugilistic pipsqueak shooting spitballs at a battleship.

Holt’s rancid rap is the tired, old song…Oscar de la Hoya was dried out from making weight, that Ricky Hatton’s dumb defense made him easy pickings for Da Pacman.

I don’t know about you but I instead of Holt’s cry for attention I prefer to look back at some more intelligent comments made by a Hall Of Famer as summer was turning into fall.

This boxing giant’s name is Bernard Hopkins and, let’s face it, Holt couldn’t carry his gym bag in terms of talent or stature.


You can compare Holt to a Hopkins, sure, but it would have to be underachieving nephew, Demetrius, not to middleweight marvel BHop. When Holt gets a clue about Pacquiao, it will be his first.



I didn’t see the story when first published (August 24) but I think what Hopkins said about Megamanny bears repetition as we continue the run up to the giant bout of Nov. 14 against Miguel I’m No Angel Cotto.

Hopkins shows a true awareness of Manny as a cultural icon, as the Pinoy Idol.

“People want to see him, his culture. I think he comes across with that kind of star power,” says Hopkins. “Some fighters have it. Some fighters just have the star. Then you got star power. Then you have the fighter who just captivates the imagination of the people. This guy’s a little bit more marketable than any other fighter that’s under – including myself – that Golden Boy has, I’m not saying that nobody’s marketable. But he brings…he’s just an exciting fighter. Everybody’s paying attention to him. I know HBO is. And everybody loves his style and his fight game.”


Further, BHop told the scribe that he sees Manny as the torchbearer of his generation in boxing.

“He’s the guy to watch. In this new generation of the next new fighters they’re transitioning into now, taking that torch and taking it into the next years to come. And he’s definitely on the top as one of the superstars in boxing right now.”

A ring giant’s on the mark words on Pacquiao are duly recorded. Btw, in what's supposed to be batting practice before a 2010 "Golden Oldie" rematch against Roy Jones.

As for Holt, his mindless wind goes in one ear and out another.

When it comes to the Magnitude of Manny, Hopkins nailed it.

Holt would whoop Manny ass too, it's too bad he's a black American or maybe he'd get a shot. Pac hates black people and will not fight them under any circumstances.

Your a troll for thinking Manny hates black people. Manny fought at a division that black fighters dont dominate. He beat mostly on Mexican nfighters because thats their dominant in those weight classes.

sO if Pacquiao was to beat Timothy Bradley at his first 140 debut, people are going to discriminate Manny for not fighting Ricky Hatton because his the undisputed champion at 140.

And your lying to yourself ya ho ass mutha****a, you know good and godamn well Manny ain't never ever fought a slick black american fighter at any weight EVER. It's a fact and he made Roach fire Michael Moorer simply because pac refused to breathe the same air as him. LMAO y'all are funny acting like Manny has fought black americans when you know he hasn't , he won't and can't fight them.

I would not say "hate" is the right word.

[Nota Loka PR]

lmao thAt kid Jone above me is funny... everything's about race with you blackies. lmao

[-EX-]

I don't know about that source but I agree with what he said...although I don't think Pac plans to be fighting for a lot longer...

In the next few years boxing may lose Floyd, Pac, Hopkins, and Mosley...I don't know what happens after that

You're offensive and you should be banned. I hope a moderator bears it in mind. Those are serious accusations.
